Informationen zum Autor Edited by Ruth E. Ray and Toni Calasanti - Contributions by Chasity Bailey-Fakhoury; Sherylyn H. Briller; Elizabeth Edson Chapleski; Shu-hui Sophy Cheng; Heather E. Dillaway; Mary E. Durocher; Jill Harrison; Faith P. Hopp; Thomas B. Jankowski; Janet L. La Klappentext Nobody's Burden: Lessons on Old Age from the Great Depression is the first book-length study of the experience of old-age during the Great Depression. Part history, part social critique, the contributors rely on archival research, social history, narrative study and theoretical analysis to argue that Americans today, as in the past, need to rethink old-age policy and accept their shared responsibility for elder care. A must read for historians, gerontologists, and social workers.
